Peanut Heist

I sat and watched this red bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) fly back and forth between a bird feeder hanging from my fence and an oak tree in my backyard. While at the bird feeder, he would dig through the bird seed until he found a peanut then fly away. I tried several times to catch him in the act of flying away, most only caught part of him in the frame. This is one of two in which I had him all in the frame
making off with a peanut.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.
